Solution 2

DateTime.Now.Day or DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek, depending of what you mean by day (2 or Thursday)...

Use DayOfWeek property of DateTime.

Try:

C#

DateTime dt = new DateTime(); 
Console.WriteLine("The day of the week for {0:d} is {1}.", dt, dt.DayOfWeek); 
// Outputs: The day of the week for 12/2/2010 is Thursday.

Here [^]you go to see all available properties of DateTime and what they provide.

It's really quite simple to do in C# thankfully. :)

DateTime today = DateTime.Today;

int todayDay = todayDate.Day;

I hope it is useful.
